What Brake Lines for Ls1 Brake Conversion ?

[huntr1117]

I just picked up the parts to do the ls1 brake swap on my 96 ta. I've searched and I've seen that most people just bend the bracket to use their stock brake lines. I'd rather not do this and just replace my 18 yr old stock lines with some stainless steel ones. What lines are people using and which ones do I need that will be long enough? My car also has traction control. I'm not sure if it matters for the front brakes but some of the lines I've seen said for tcs and some say without tcs.

I would just make your own lines and for flex lines contact kore3

But, I will say this, I bought a classic tube kit for my truck since I wanted stainless and that fit 100% perfect.

a few people use c5 corvette lines because they're longer, I'll be ordering some soon so I'll report back.

Let us know, I'm in the same situation..I wonder if the c5 brake lines that advance auto sell are the same as the OE.

I used a set of braided stainless C5 lines.

@Sahara54 Did you have to mod anything or did they bolt right in??

I will, I'll probably just get some at rock auto, it's only $21 for a pair, I'm curious to see if they come with new crush washers.

@jlo The C5 lines bolted right up. @savage388 I used the Stoptech lines from Rockauto at $41/pair and they came with new crush washers and caliper bolts.

@Sahara54 thanks for the info, for an extra 20 dollars the stoptechs might be the deal.

That was my point I was going to go with a set of oe lines but figured I had sprung for new Z06 calipers what was $20 bucks.
